Achievements and Findings

A field study was conducted for three years from 1996 to 1999 at ARSS Tabiji, Ajmer. Title Production Potential and Economic of Bajra and Wheat base of cropping system and found that Kharif Onion followed by Wheat gave maximum return followed by Kharif Guar and Rabi Onion.

A field studies were conducted on effect of sulphydryl compound DTT, DTNB, TGA, TU and their combination under fully irrigated condition and limited irrigation condition reveals that foliar spray of thioglucollic acid (100ppm) and Thio-urea (100 ppm) were cost effective in both the environment.

In Kharif season planting of onion crops at 45cms distance through ridges found suitable than flate planting (2001).

In Kharif season, planting of blub on 15th July found significantly superior over late planting (2002).

For Kharif onion crop ridges are made 45cms apart and planting of set on 10cms apart on the ridges.

For sorghum cultivation in Ajmer region, varieties CSV-15, CSV-17, SPV-96 and SPV-1430 were found suitable over local variety (Deshi).

Two foliar spray of 1000 ppm thiourea one at knee height stage and second at 20 day later found suitable for increasing grain as well as fodder yield of Sorghum (2006).

To get higher bulk yield in Rabi Onion Seeding are dipped in 40 ppm solution of GA-3 or 25 ppm solution for NAA for 72 hours and then transplanting in the field (2004).

For seed production of onion variety RO-1, 120 Kg. N/ha was recommended along with 30cm row spacking.

A field experiment was conducted at ARSS Tabiji on the effect of foliar spray of sulphydryl compound on carbon practitioner, productivity and water use efficient of wheat under limited & water sufficient environment. Results reveals that two foliar spray of 100 ppm TGA or 500 ppm TU gave significant higher grain yield.

A field experiment conducted during Rabi 2003-2006 on soil application of 5, 10 and 20kg. thiourea before souring the experiment data show that no significant difference was observed in different level of Thiourea soil application.

Crop Improvement

Contribution as co-operator in the development of Varieties:

As per the mandate of research substation, Tabiji, Ajmer is carrying-out testing and verification function of different crop projects. As such I am associated with & involved in the respective crop project to meet the research targets, and also as per the pre-requisite for the incorporation of any recommendations or for release of crop varieties made by concerning crop scientist. To meet out the mandatory targets, experiments are being conducted at this research sub-station. The information thus generated from these experiments are taken into account before, incorporating the recommendation in the package of practices of Zone III-a or for release of the variety. The ancillary data and other related data are being supplied for crop trials.

I was associated with various crop projects, such as AICRIP on Pearl Millet, Guar, Cotton, Cowpea and Moong in Kharif season and similarly in Rabi season, my association is with AICRIP on wheat , barley, chickpea, spices and Regional Scheme of Taramira.

Ridges are made 45 cms apart and planting of onion set 10 cms were recommended for Kharif season (2002).

Recommendation of 30 ppm GA-3 or 50 ppm NAA were given for higher bulb yield on onion (2003).

To get higher bulb yield in Rabi onion seedings are dipped in 40 ppm solution of GA-3 or 25 ppm solution of NAA for 12 hours and than transplanting in the field (2004).

Maize crop application of two foliar spray of 1000 pm Thiourea first at tillering stage and second at flowing stage gave significantly higher grain yield (2005).

For Sorghum cultivation in Ajmer Region. Varieties CSV-15, CSV-17, SPV-96 and SPV-1430 found suitable over local variety and two foliar spray of 1000ppm Thiourea gave significantly higher grain and fodder yield of Sorghum (2005).

Application of two foliar spray of Thioglycollic acid (TGA) 100 ppm or Thiourea 500 ppm one at flowering and second at Podinitiation gave an significant additional net return and recommended for commercial production of mustard (2006).

Two foliar application of Thiourea 500 ppm or TGA 100 ppm first at tillering and second at ear emergence gave significantly higher grain yield of wheat (2006).

Foliar spray of 500 ppm Thiourea solution at branching or at flowering stage was found sufficient to harvest higher productivity of cotton (2005).
